IPL 2026: Raghuvanshi Fined, Handed Demerit Point For Code Of Conduct Breach
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Angkrish Raghuvanshi has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee and handed one demerit point for breaching the IPL Code of Conduct during Kolkata Knight Riders recently concluded clash against Lucknow Super Giants. The incident took place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday, where Raghuvanshis on-field dismissal for obstructing the field was followed by a visible display of dissent. Angkrish Raghuvanshi, batter & wicket-keeper, Kolkata Knight Riders, has been fined 20% of his match fee and has also accumulated one Demerit Point for breaching Level 1 of the IPLs Code of Conduct for Players and Team Officials during Match No. 38 against Lucknow Super Giants, the IPL said in a statement. Raghuvanshi was found to have breached Article 2.2 of the IPLs Code of Conduct, which relates to abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during a Match. The incident occurred in the 5th over, when, after being given out for obstructing the field, Raghuvanshi struck the boundary cushion with his bat in an aggressive manner and subsequently threw his helmet into the dugout in a similar manner. Raghuvanshi admitted to the offence and accepted the Match Referees sanction, it added. The rare dismissal occurred on the final delivery of the fifth over of KKRs innings. Batting on nine off seven balls, Raghuvanshi pushed a delivery from pacer Prince Yadav towards mid-on and initially set off for a single. However, he aborted the run midway after a call from teammate Cameron Green. While attempting to return to the crease, Raghuvanshi changed his running line and was struck by a direct throw. Rishabh Pant and the LSG players immediately appealed, alleging obstruction of the field, prompting a review. Third umpire Rohan Pandit reviewed the footage and ruled that the batter had deliberately altered his path, thereby interfering with the throw, resulting in his dismissal.

NC has abandoned Article 370 fight, betrayed mandate: Aga Ruhullah
Signalling a deepening political divergence over governance priorities rather than a fresh rupture, Srinagar MP Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Sunday asserted that the ruling Jammu and Kashmir National Conference has effectively stopped striving for restoration of Article 370, describing it as an injustice with the peoples mandate. Addressing reporters after a public event, Mehdi framed his criticism as a reflection of public sentiment, saying the partys electoral commitment was anchored in restoring constitutional guarantees rather than pursuing limited administrative goals. The National Conference leaderships primary promise to the people was to pursue an institutional struggle for the restoration of Article 370 and constitutional protections, he said, adding that hey (NC) dislike me because I continue to remind them of those principles. He rejected the argument that statehood alone constituted the core public mandate. People did not vote merely for the restoration of statehood. Had that been the case, they might have supported the BJP, which had itself assured statehood in Parliament, he said, referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party. According to Mehdi, the party initially recalibrated its position by prioritising statehood as an achievable step, but has since retreated further. Now, in its second year, the government appears to have abandoned even the demand for statehood, he said.He also pointed to what he described as a pattern of policy retreat. For some time, they pursued the issue of business rules, but that effort has also been abandoned. After certain decisions and protocols were approved by New Delhi for select individuals, the leadership has chosen silence, he said. In effect, the government is no longer actively pursuing statehood, constitutional protections, or even business rules. This represents a betrayal of the peoples mandate. Mehdi said the growing public discontent mirrors his own position. There is visible resentment among the people. I reflect that sentiment while maintaining my differences, he said. Expanding his remarks to national developments, Mehdi criticised the defeated Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, linking it to a potential delimitation exercise tied to the implementation of the Women's Reservation Bill. He clarified that the womens quota legislation remains in force but argued that the rejected proposal could have enabled structural distortions. What has been defeated is a so-called delimitation bill that would have led to gerrymandering, similar to what was done in Jammu and Kashmir. Constituency boundaries were altered along communal lines, he alleged. He warned that the proposed expansion of parliamentary seats could have shifted national power dynamics. States like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan would have seen a substantial increase in seatspotentially around 400 collectivelyallowing them to take decisions for the entire country, he said, adding that such a framework could marginalise southern states, West Bengal and several northeastern regions. Drawing a parallel with the 2019 developments surrounding Article 370, Mehdi questioned the democratic legitimacy of such processes. Was Article 370 removed with the concurrence of the people of Jammu and Kashmir? No. Similarly, this bill would have disenfranchised several regions, he said. Reiterating his central argument, Mehdi maintained that even a phased political approach is no longer visible. Even if we accept the argument of pursuing what is achievable first, this government does not seem to be fighting for even statehood now. This, to me, is an injustice with the mandate of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he added. The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, which proposed increasing the strength of the Lok Sabha from 543 to 816 seats following a delimitation exercise based on the 2011 Census, failed to pass in Parliament after falling short of the required two-thirds majority, with 298 votes in favour and 230 against, against the required 352.

IPL 2026: Hopefully, LSG Finds Batting Rhythm In Power-play, Get Back To Winning Ways, Says Marsh
Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari: Lucknow Super Giants batting all-rounder Mitchell Marsh admitted the side has struggled to find fluency at the top of the order in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, adding that rediscovering rhythm in the power-play overs with the bat will be key to turning their campaign around. LSG have managed just two wins in seven games to be in ninth place in the points table and need a win over KKR at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium to get their campaign on track. Well, I've probably got a similar strike rate to what my dad used to have, so I'm trying to work on that. But we've had our challenges with the bat. We haven't been able to get going in the power play. We haven't had the loss of wickets, or just haven't been able to find a rhythm to set up our innings. So we're looking to make as much impact as we can tonight in those first six overs and hopefully get back to winning ways, said Marsh in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. Asked if LSG head coach Justin Langers comparison of the pitch to the WACA in Perth is agreeable, Marsh said, It's probably not quite the WACA, but I think I mean, I've certainly enjoyed batting here. It is a big ground, but in terms of grounds around the world, it's still reasonably small. We haven't had the loss of wickets, or just haven't been able to find a rhythm to set up our innings. So we're looking to make as much impact as we can tonight in those first six overs and hopefully get back to winning ways, said Marsh in a pre-game chat with the broadcasters. Also Read: Live Cricket Score LSG have used three opening combinations, with Marsh batting alongside Rishabh Pant, Aiden Markram, and Ayush Badoni.
